Psalm 119:30  I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me.

Janet Scott

No matter what you are facing today and no matter what is going on in your life you have the choice of whether or not you will remain faithful.  Whether it is your relationship with God, your service, your job, your marriage, your friendships you have a choice of whether or not to be faithful.

There are times in marriages when maybe things aren’t going your way, maybe your spouse isn’t as romantic as you would like or maybe they are even borderline abusive you have a choice of whether or not you will remain faithful.  Now, if you are in an abusive relationship get help and that may involve getting out, don’t continue in abuse, but don’t cheat either.  Often when things aren’t going well in a marriage Satan will move stealthily in with someone who is so sweet and understanding and somehow has the ability to fill that “need” in your life – run!  Don’t turn to someone else, turn to God!  READ THE REST, CLICK HERE.

Thank you to all of you who have followed my blog over the years.  I have been quiet in my blogging over the last eight months.  A lot of my energy went to take care of my mom who passed with cancer last fall, another family member who had major health problems and just life being very busy.

Lets begin with a blog my wife Janet wrote the other day.  I’ll be honest, this really encouraged me and I believe you’ll enjoy it as well.

When God is Silent

Luke 1: 8-11    Now while he (Zechariah) was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.   And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.  And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

I am sure we have all read the story of Zechariah being told by the angel Gabriel that his prayer had been heard and his wife was going to have a son and they were to call his name John.  Zechariah asked for a sign that this was true and Gabriel told him that he wouldn’t be able to speak until the child was born since he didn’t just believe his words.  It’s real easy to look at this situation and wonder why Zechariah would question this when he had an angel standing in front of him telling him, but did you realize that it had been 400 years since God had spoken to anyone in Israel?  It had been 400 years since God had spoken through the prophets and the Israelites had been through a lot during that time and still no one was hearing from God.

How much are we like Zechariah?  On the one side; how often do you pray and pray and yet you aren’t really expecting anything miraculous from God?  You go through your every day routine, praying and maybe even fasting but there would be utter surprise if God answered you today!  Zechariah wasn’t quite ready for his answer even though he had prayed for years.

On the other hand; when God is silent do you get so discouraged that you don’t continue to do what you are supposed to be doing?  Maybe this is the lesson to learn from Zechariah;  he wasn’t the only one that God was silent to, it was the entire nation – think of how horrible that would be, no one was hearing from God and it wasn’t for 4 days or even 4 years it was for 400 years!  But, regardless of God’s silence Zechariah continued to be faithful and continued to serve God on every level.  When you don’t get an answer right away or you feel as though God is silent, do you get angry and quit serving or do you become indifferent and stop reading your Bible?  What is your response to God’s silence or God’s answer of “wait”?  Zechariah was still where he was supposed to be and doing what he was supposed to be doing, how else will you hear from God?

I would encourage each of us today to examine our hearts and know that even though God is silent He is still working.  In Israel’s case He was preparing the way for the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings – Jesus.  What great things is He preparing for you in your life that may take just a little bit longer before He says, “ok, here’s the plan, here is what I have been working on for you.”?  The key is to remain faithful and to believe that the best is yet to come, God is working even if He isn’t talking, He hasn’t forgotten you, He is working hard on your behalf so do your part by remaining faithful, serve Him with your whole heart as if you had your answer today because you never know which today it is that will hold your answer!  It could be today – ah ah, where is your faith, don’t allow Satan’s lies to rob you of your joy as you wait because your answer is truly closer than you think!  Rest in God today knowing that He loves you and He will bring it to pass and be faithful to Him as you wait!

My wife Janet wrote this today and I thought it might bless you as you begin a new week.

Esther 2:16  And when Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace , in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth in the seventh year of his reign, the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

The question keeps looming overhead: “Do I have what it takes?”   (read the whole devotional CLICK here)

f you have read my latest book “The Day Satan Called” then you’ll remember me sharing that my wife and I had friends over who agreed to cleanse our home.  To be honest, up to that point I had never heard of cleansing your home.  This is going to be a very basic explanation of when, why and how to kind of a post.

• What does it mean to cleanse your home?  Cleansing your home is a way to get rid of any evil spirits that might be causing problems in your home.  For some this kind of problem might come in the form of actually seeing demons, hearing them, being struck by them, doors opening and closing and even the since of no peace but heaviness in your home.  No doubt there are different levels of spiritual activity that can attack your home.

• Why Cleanse Your Home?  As a believer you have the authority to stop any kind of demonic activity in your home.  Things don’t have to go bump in the night.  You don’t have to live with a spirit of heaviness or anything in between what I just mentioned.  You cleanse your home to command anything demonic to leave.  This is your right.  Luke 10:19, “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”  2 Corinthians 10:14, “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”

• How to Cleanse Your Home?  Again, until I had my house invaded by demons which I share about in my book, I never knew how to cleanse my home.  Up to this point I didn’t know that I needed to do that.  When my doors started opening and closing at night, it became very unnerving.  Lights started turning on and off, something began hitting me in the dark and finally we saw something walking down our hall way and both my wife and I knew it was a demon. To cleanse your home, take some oil (any kind, cooking oil etc…) and begin to anoint the doors and windows in each room.  Janet and I put a cross at the top of each window and door as we walk through our home.  Why oil?  Oil is a symbol of the blood of Jesus and we know that Satan is defeated by the blood of the Lamb.  There is no magic prayer but this is what we usually pray as we walk through every room in our home.  “In Jesus name, I command Satan and anything evil to leave this room.  I bind you in Jesus name, take authority over you in Jesus name and command you to leave this room and house.  Holy Spirit I welcome you to fill this room with your peace and love.  Lord, I thank you for the victory.  In Jesus name, amen.”  Exodus 40:9, “Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all it’s furniture, so that it may become holy.  Remember Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confuse every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

• Close Open Doors.  Ask the Holy Spirit to share with you what open doors you might have that would allow Satan to come into your home.  Example, view porn, rebellion, addictions, secret sins, satanic movies and even objects.  Janet and I travel to other countries and we are careful not to bring back items that might have connection with other gods.  A good verse to go wit that is Deuteronomy 7:25-26, “The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.”  I came home from one trip and had stones with spirit names on them without realizing it.  Needless to say I considered that open doors and it ended up in the garbage.  Satan will look for any open door in order to cause your home problems.  Simply pray and ask the Lord if there are open doors.  I’ll never forget when my home was haunted and we couldn’t get the demons to leave.  I was confused as to why things continued to torment us.  Finally when I saw a demon in my home and asked the spirit why it was in my home and it said, “I’m an invited guest into this home.”  Wow, not what I was expecting to hear.  Long story short, I found occult items under the bed of the witch that I was trying to rescue.  She was staying in our guest bedroom and left some of her stuff when she moved out.   Those objects gave Satan the right to stay in my home.  Once I destroyed the items the demons left for good.  Do not under estimate the power of open doors.  Keep in mind Satan is waiting to destroy your family.  John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” One of the open doors could be playing with things from the occult like a Ouija board, reading your signs, seeing what the paper has to say about your future, palm reading etc…  The Bible is clear this is wrong, Leviticus 20:6, ““If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.”

Let me close with this.  Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”  It’s up to us to learn about how to battle Satan and the demons that are attacking our homes.  We don’t need to focus on Satan and demons, our focus is on God, however, we need to know how to win the battle in Jesus name.

2 Timothy 1:7, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  You don’t have to live in fear.  Peace is something that God gives to all of us.  It’s time to take authority over Satan and receive the peace that God has for you.

I would really encourage you to read my book, “The Day Satan Called” to receive a great perspective on what spiritual warfare can look like.  Here is a recent review on the book.

“I bought this on a whim; I usually research and read reviews before I purchase a new book. By far this is the most educational (and yet terrifying) book I’ve read on the subject of Satan and his demons. It opened my eyes to all the evil that exsists around us in every day life and has made me much more aware of the choices I make. And through this book I’ve tried to educate others…it’s a great ‘witnessing’ and teaching tool. However, it’s sad that most churches and pastors don’t preach/teach on this subject and if they do, it’s hardly ever in depth enough. I would highly recommend this book and would also like to see it as a Bible study.”

Janet and I are finishing a “4 Week Small Group Bible Study” that will be coming out in January.  This will be a free Bible study to go with my latest book and it’s FREE for anyone who would like it.  It’s our gift to you.

Please share today’s blog, many need to be encouraged in this area.  I welcome your comments and thoughts.  The below video is an account of what happened to our home.  It’s worth watching.

I am not new to ministry.  I began my journey in ministry full-time back in 1983.  It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 30 years.  Before that I was a preacher’s kid.  All of that to say I’ve seen a lot go on in Christian circles.

I have actually known people who were told “your broken and unusable.”  A single mom once shared with me that after her husband cheated several times on her and then threatened to kill her and the kids, that the church she attended could no longer use her because she was divorced.  A close friend of my fell to sin earlier this year.  He had a close professional counselor friend of his call him and tell him on the phone, “I cannot be your friend any more.”  Those types of responses are nothing short of “religion” and they have nothing to do with the heart of Jesus.

After 24 years of working in ministry I let my guard down.  I have learned that Satan is patient and will wait for the right time to attack.  I was burned out, had made some compromises, my brother died in an accident, fell into a deep depression and I threw in the towel.  There is never excuse for sin, however there are many reasons that usually bring you to the place in your life where you let your guard down and you cave to sin.

I was actually told after my fall was public, that I hadn’t suffered enough, couldn’t be used again and very close friends and co-workers decided it was best not to talk with me again.  At that point I felt as though that was what I deserved and perhaps their comments where right.  As I continue to study the Word of God, it’s very evident that the Bible is a book of restoration.  I now feel sorry for those who decided it’s in their best interest to cut all ties with me.  Perhaps you have fallen and others make you feel like a second class citizen.  I am here to remind you God is crazy about you and delights in the opportunity to restore you and bring you the best years of your life.  God is not waiting to beat the fire out of you when you sin.  Sin comes with it’s own consequences.  Sin always requires payment and thank God, Jesus paid the price for our sin and by His grace God is waiting for the chance to walk with you through your consequences and restore you as the man or woman of God He has called you to be.  Christians are supposed to do the same.  I love this passage of scripture:

Galatians 6:1-3

Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

Today I am here to be a voice that shares with you that you can be used again.  You can be used even greater than before.  God delights in you right now.  Begin the journey of healing with God and see what happens.  There is no quick fix but the healing can begin.  Don’t worry about other Christians who don’t talk to you, won’t return your call, look down on your or what they may say behind your back.  God will bring a couple of people into your life that will walk with you to the other side.  I encourage you not to give up.  I learned a while ago you don’t judge the Bible by others actions, you judge their actions according to the Word of God.

You may have lost the battle but the war can still be won.  I refuse to accept the old quote from the church, “Christians are the only ones who shoot their wounded.”  My hand will always be out to help someone get back up regardless of what they have done.  I want to be there to celebrate their recovery.

If you find your self wounded after falling to sin, know that God is crazy about you and restoration can begin today.  If you know of someone who has fallen, call them today and tell them how much you care about them and will do whatever it takes to walk with them to the other side.  Walk out the heart of Christ and not religion.

A battle was lost but the war will be won!

God bless,

I can already hear people saying, thats a pretty bold statement Bill.  As you get to know me you’ll soon realize I am a pretty edgy guy.  I think Christians have been way to passive.  Many have laid down and taken their beating from Satan as those they deserve it.  Today I am standing up and saying “Hell No.”  I am no longer going to allow hell to play havoc in my home, job, marriage, family, finances etc…  I am clamming victory in my life and will no longer lay down and take a beating.  I am not going to allow hell to surface in my home.  When I wake up in the morning I am beginning to say “Hell No” as my feet hit the floor in the morning.

God has promised us victory and favor in our life but we have to take a stand and fight for what is rightfully yours.  My friend posted this wonderful reminder the other day and I am going to steal it and pass it on to you.

“I am blessed and highly favored. The favor of God is operating and functioning in my life. It surrounds my life as a shield. His favor goes before me and prepares my way, Favor opens doors of blessing and opportunity in my life. Wherever I go and whatever I do, God’s favor is with me and on me. God’s favor is operating and functioning in every area of my life. I have favor with my family, on my job, and in all of my relationship. All my endeavors are blessed. God’s blessing of favor come to me every day, whatever I set my hand to prospers and succeeds because of His favor. God’s favor brings promotion and increase to my life, God’s favor fills my life with overflowing blessing, peace, joy, fulfillment, and abundance.”

Today is a new day.  Take back what Satan has stolen from you.  Are you ready to fight?  Are you ready to scream “Hell NO?”  You are highly favored and you are once day closer to your break through.  I know it sounds crazy but I am asking you to post “Hell NO” in the comment area of this blog if you are ready to take a stand and receive God’s favor.

Bless you as you fight for your home.

God bless,

Bill Scott
